Harness the horses,
And [a]mount the steeds,
Take your stand with helmets on!
(A)Polish the spears,
Put on the (B)coats of armor!
Why have I seen it?
They are terrified,
They are (C)retreating,
And their (D)warriors are defeated
And have taken refuge in flight,
Without facing back.
[b](E)Terror is on every side!”
Declares the Lord.
Let not the (F)swift man flee,
Nor the warrior escape.
In the north beside the river Euphrates
They have (G)stumbled and fallen.
